With 30 years of conference experience and 30 hotels, from Hamburg to Bavaria’s Alpine uplands and from Cologne to Dresden, Starwood Hotels & Resorts is represented in Germany with a ground-covering range of offers – making it the leading conference provider.

New and time-tested services ensure smooth operations and a tailored-to-suit, modern event management.  Two cases in point are the user-defined, multi-lingual online tool StarGroups for organizing events (inter alia, with individual URL, design, download area, hotel reservation, real-time report) and StarMeeting Concierge for comprehensive personal support during an event.

The various brands Sheraton, Four Points by Sheraton, Westin, The Luxury Collection and Le Méridien offer options to cater to every standard, taste and need – not only with a range of different sizes, but with a variety of fixtures and room furnishings to chose from, too.

The bonus program Starwood Preferred Planner (SPP) was specially developed with event planners in mind: with each event, members collect Starpoints that they can redeem at any time at participating Starwood Hotels und Resorts around the world and for culinary treats, or convert into air miles and goods vouchers.

For instance, the current SPP promotion “The choice is yours” offers leaves it up to the event planners – when organizing their conference, they can decide for themselves what is important to the success of their event. Starwood Hotels & Resorts then assists them with an appropriate deal: anyone booking a conference up to March 31, 2011 will be granted a discount from 4% on the total room charge and can select one of the following additional services, too:
* Free W-LAN in the conference room
* 2 complimentary rooms for every 25 rooms booked
* 3 room upgrades for every 50 rooms booked

SPP members also earn 2500 Starpoints for every 25 rooms booked
